You are right! I looked at the tokenizer.py module and the default
value for tabsize is 8. Now I feel stupid since I believe everyone
knew this for at least a decade and it is somewhere between page 1 and
10 of the Python tutorial I didn't look at for 5 years or so.
Now I get the following class definition:
class Request(Storage):
def __init__(self):
self.env=Storage()
self.cookies=Storage()
self.get_vars=Storage()
self.post_vars=Storage()
self.vars=Storage()
self.application=None
self.function=None
self.args=[]
pass
This is syntactically correct but the "pass" at the end makes me worry
about understanding even less about yet unknown language conventions
( setting pass as an endmarker of a block ) or the programmers
intentions or both. It's very scary in either way and I might need a
few days of recovering.
